Researchers are investigating whether Stonehenge aligns with the positions of the Moon, as well as the Sun.

English Heritage and experts from other organisations are studying the connection between the ancient monument and a major lunar standstill, which happens every 18.6 years.

The term refers to the point when moonrise and moonset are furthest apart along the horizon, and next takes place in 2024-25.

The theory is that these lunar movements might have been noticed in the early phase of Stonehenge and gone on to influence its later design.
